Ju Wentai sighed and came to a dungeon, where a monk with a solemn appearance sat facing the wall in his cell, silently chanting sutras. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoJu Wentai came to the door of the prison. Quietly looked at this monk. But the monk didn't look at him all the time, and chanted the sutra by himself. Ju Wentai asked the guard:

"Hasn't the master eaten yet?"

"King Qiqi, the master still hasn't eaten!" Ju Wentai looked at the table full of fruits and vegetables. There is no sign of touching, and many of the fruits and vegetables are fresh. Ju Wentai came to the cell door.

"Master! Do you still refuse to eat? The monk still ignored Ju Wentai, Ju Wentai looked at the monk and sighed in his heart.

A year ago, the monk named Xuanzang came to Gaochang, its wind and dust puff, walking with a limp, at that time, Ju Wentai was patrolling the city, the monk suddenly bumped into Ju Wentai's side, Ju Wentai's guard was about to hit him, Ju Wentai saw that he hit a monk, Ju Wentai himself is a Buddhist, so he immediately stopped the guard's move, let the guard help the monk up, found that the monk was wearing a robe and the monk of Gaochang Kingdom was different, Ju Wentai carefully observed the monk, He ordered the guards to take the monk back to the palace, and ordered the royal physician to treat the monk:

"King! This master was just tired all the way, plus malnourished, so he passed out! ”

"Alright! Take good care of this master! When the monk woke up, Ju Wentai started talking to the monk.

"Ahh Guru! Looking at the master's outfit, it's not us Gaochang people, I don't know where the master came from? ”

"The poor monk came from the Tang Dynasty in the eastern soil, intending to go to Tianzhu to seek the true meaning of the Buddha......" In the conversation, Ju Wentai found that this monk named Xuanzang was very knowledgeable, so he had a heart to cherish his talents.

"Master! Under the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, Shangshu Ling Ju Tan. Since the ancestors of the Han Dynasty came to the Western Regions to reproduce, they have been promoting sinicization, but the biggest obstacle here is that the religion of my dynasty is the Buddha of the West, not the Buddha of the Middle Earth, Buddhism is quite a little angry, Xiao Wang has been worried about this matter, just yesterday, Xiao Wang had a dream, dreamed that a golden Arhat in the East came to my palace, radiant, now, Xiao Wang met the master, and the face of the master and the Buddha in Xiao Wang's dream is the same person, please master in my lecture to speak. When Master Xuanzang Ju Wentai said this, he would not be naïve to think that he was really a Buddha and that there must be some conspiracy. However, as a Buddhist, it is common to lecture on the Dharma and debate with others. Under the recommendation of Ju Wentai, Master Xuanzang gave a lecture in Gaochangguo. When I arrived at the venue, I realized that this lecture was not so simple -- now Gaochang is in chaos, originally Gaochang was the Kan family, but because of civil strife, constantly changing the regime, from Kan, Zhang, Ma and then Ju Gaochang, although they all believe in Buddhism, but the change of power has made Gaochang Buddhism serious, and the major sects of Buddhism in Gaochang have believers and disagree with each other, especially when Ju has just taken over the power of the state, it is also the same as the previous kings, and supports its own sect and national teacher, However, by the time Ju Wentai ascended the throne as the king of Gaochangguo, the struggle between the major sects became bigger and bigger, and it also indirectly affected Ju Wentai's authority as king. However, this is not difficult Master Xuanzang, with the efforts of Master Xuanzang and with the cooperation of Ju Wentai, Master Xuanzang won all the Buddhist sects in the entire Gaochang country, the king of Gaochang Ju Wentai was very happy, completely surrendered to Master Xuanzang, and the greatest pleasure every day was to listen to Master Xuanzang's lectures, just like that, Master Xuanzang stayed in Gaochang for about a year. Ju Wentai, the king of Gaochang, hoped that Master Xuanzang would accept the position of national teacher, and he was willing to belong to Master Xuanzang, and also ordered that all monks and people throughout the country were disciples of Master Xuanzang. However, Master Xuanzang has always had the dream of going to Tianzhu hopefully, and has always refused Ju Wentai's kindness. Just three days ago, Ju Wentai told Master Xuanzang his wish:

"Master, your Buddhism is profound, and the people of our country are not educated, since the master is a high-ranking monk in the Central Plains, please ask the master to accept the position of my country's national teacher!"

"Your Majesty, your kindness is appreciated by the poor monks. However, in the hearts of poor monks, the yearning for the Tianzhu Buddha Shakyamuni is difficult to suppress! Now, the poor monk has been delayed here for nearly a year, and if he doesn't move, I'm afraid the Buddha will blame! ”

"Master! You are the Buddha who came to my Gaochang from the Central Plains, please stay in our country and educate the people. ”

"Your Majesty, the poor monk was originally a citizen of the Tang Dynasty in Middle-earth, and was inspired by the Buddha to enter the Buddha's door. And those who left Middle-earth and went to Tianzhu to worship the Buddha and seek scriptures. Therefore, His Majesty's hospitality, the poor monk cannot receive it! Master Xuanzang stopped talking, and directly closed his eyes and chanted. Ju Wentai saw Master Xuanzang's attitude, the patience in his heart was a little consumed, and ordered the place where Xuanzang lived to be transformed into a prison cell, if Master Xuanzang was unwilling to accept the position of national teacher, he was not allowed to leave the place where he lived for a step, of course, every day to eat and drink are provided at an auspicious time, but Master Xuanzang has made up his mind, from now on not to eat or drink, just chanting every day, so it is the third day. Ju Wentai saw that Master Xuanzang had made up his mind, and he admired Master Xuanzang's attitude in his heart:

"Master, you haven't eaten or drunk for three days. Please eat a little! It's really not good, it's good to drink some water! Master Xuanzang was still chanting vigorously and facing the wall, ignoring Ju Wentai. Ju Wentai then ordered the guards to open the prison door.

"Master! Invite the master to eat, after the master eats, Xiao Wang personally sends the master on the road, and the master is invited to eat immediately! Forgive the sin of neglect! Ju Wentai looked at Master Xuanzang's distant figure and sighed.

"Maybe, if it really dies, take it as a good thing!"

In Chang'an Taiji Palace, Li Jiancheng was reviewing the folds, and Mingyu's father-in-law reported by Li Jiancheng's side:

"Your Majesty, Xu Shao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Lord Di Renjie, the Qilin Secret Guard, ask to see you!"

"Oh! All right! Mingyu, you let Lord Xu Shao and Master Di Renjie meet me separately! I'll see Xu Shao first! ”

"Yes! Slave obeys! After Xu Shao came in:

"Your Majesty! The minister has already received an urgent report from the border pass, saying that the mission of the Xue Yantuo Khanate has entered Chang'an! The minister has already sent two principals to meet him. In addition, a first-class pavilion has been arranged, and after taking them to Chang'an, they will live immediately. Li Jiancheng nodded.

"Xu Shangshu! You've done a great job! Also, what is the size of the pavilion? ”

"Your Majesty, it is the Wanguo Pavilion of the previous dynasty, and Weichen has restored it as new." Li Jiancheng nodded.

"Xu Shangshu! The Wanguo Pavilion in the former Sui can't be repaired, and it has to be expanded! Perhaps, in a few days, there will be other countries coming, and your Ministry of Rites will be very busy, so you must hurry up and supervise the Ministry of Industry! Xu Shao knew that Li Jiancheng must have a new plan, and immediately complied with the order. After Xu Shao left, Li Jiancheng summoned Di Renjie again.

"Huaiying! You must have something important here, right!? Di Renjie nodded.

"Your Majesty! Wechen is here for a few things! ”

"Say!"

"Your Majesty! Now the Eastern Turks have perished, and with the demise of the Eastern Turks, the entire steppe has changed in a new situation. Moreover, the Western Turks have now also changed khans! However, I heard that because of the change of khans in the Western Turks, the people of the Western Regions are now panicking! Moreover, I heard that the major vassal states of the Western Turks are also panicking. In particular, Tuyuhun, who lived in the former Xihai, Heyuan and other counties, was even more unstable. The eyeliner that the minister arranged there has already passed a book to the minister with a flying pigeon, saying that the son of Tuyuhun is also on the way to my Tang Dynasty. ”

"Oh! All right! Di Renjie, remember, you must secretly protect the envoys of Tuyuhun, and the envoys of the Xue Yantuo Khanate will definitely make some right and wrong in the area of Chang'an when the time comes, and the officials and officers and soldiers of Chang'an must not be able to do it, you must secretly monitor, and when appropriate, as a civilian person, give them a lesson! Remember, though, don't kill anyone! Don't reveal your identities either! ”

"Yes! Wechen understands! "The virtues of the grassland people, Li Jiancheng has known through the records of the Song and Ming dynasties in later generations. However, the scholars in the officialdom also know that there is really going to be some kind of chaos, and when the time comes, those officers and soldiers will arrest these envoys and send them to the official office, and those officials will definitely turn big things into small things and small things, and they will turn outsiders into outsiders at every turn, and they will not understand etiquette and law, and the dregs of Confucianism will fill the entire officialdom, and in the end, it will be the people who will suffer, and it will be the face of the country that suffers. Therefore, he secretly told Di Renjie to act secretly. After arranging everything, Li Jiancheng's eyes fell on the fold again. A few days later, the delegation of the Xueyanta Khanate arrived in Chang'an City. Prince Bazhuo stared at the magnificent Chang'an City, his heart was full of novelty, longing, and surprise.

"Ahh This Chang'an City is really big, and there are so many people! Belch! You say, if you take all the people in Chang'an City back and make slaves, how many slaves can be captured back! The two principals of the Ministry of Rites who accompanied Xue Yantuo's mission were slightly shocked when they heard Prince Xue Yantuo's words. After hearing Prince Bazhuo's words, Prince Xue Yantuo secretly stuffed a few fist-sized pieces of gold into the two officials in charge of the Ministry of Rites.

"Ahh Two adults, my little brother is young and ignorant! Thank you for your understanding! "The two directors of the Ministry of Rites are just civil officials, and there are two pieces of gold, so naturally they don't care, but Prince Bazhuo's words have reached the ears of those who have a heart. After arriving at the Wanguo Inn, Prince Bazhuo looked at such a big house, as if it was strange, look here, look there. Lie down on the bed again and give it a try.

"Hmmm! Comfortable! It's so comfortable! Prince Bazhuo lay down for a while, then got up and said:

"Hey! It's a pity, why are there no women!? The woman should have been brought here in the first place. At this time, a Xue Yantuo guard said quietly.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you want women, there is a place in this Chang'an City, but there are a lot of women!"

"Oh! What is it? Take me there! ”
